GFF Risk 7 - This time, it's personal
 

GAME OVER, YELDARB WINS!

Everyone gets 4 turns per day. All players begin with 1 Tank, 1 Energy Boost and 20 gil.

LINK TO RULES IN WIKI

Additions to the rules
-If you control all 6 bodies of water, you gain 2 extra attacks during the day.
-Bodies of water do not count towards Warlord status, but they do count towards total number of countries (the ultimate measure of who wins).

I think I’ll continue this rule as well, but don’t expect a ton of creativity. At the beginning of each day (starting Wednesday), I will award a new item to all surviving players. These items may be traded, but they will not be transferred as spoils of war. If a player has one of these items in their possession upon death, that item will be lost.

Weapons of the Day
7/18 - Simply Majestic Clone: When deployed, an SMC will annoy and distract your chosen opponent with its inane banter, causing them to have a 10% chance of their attacks failing. The effect of the clones is cummulative, meaning if 3 clones are deployed against a player, then that player would have a 30% chance of each of their attacks failing.
7/19 - Legion's Satanic Intervention: Legion will slaughter a goat as a sacrifice to the Dark Lord on your behalf. This has a 5/6 chance of taking one turn from the player of your choice and adding that turn to your own, but a 1/6 chance of giving your opponent an extra turn instead. If your opponent gets the extra turn, they have until the end of the following day to use it.
7/20 - Fjordor's War and Peace: You may employ Fjordor to upload his lengthy tome to one opponent's network, causing it to overload. As a result, said opponent will be unable to submit numbers for attacks and defense for the day (I will supply random numbers instead). This item doesn't prevent them from attacking, it just removes their ability to select which numbers they use.
7/21 - bobo's charity drive: bobo is always looking for money, either to fund his lavish trips to the Caribbean, or other "side" projects. When you use this item against an opponent, bobo will count their total number of actions for the day (including item usage), and take that amount in gil from them and give it to you. For example, if Player X attacks 4 times and uses 2 items, then you would get 6 gil.
7/22 - NYRSkate's Highly Ineffective Mongoose: Use this like a Tank, but it only has a 1 in 3 chance of working.

Arms Dealer
(15) Tanks: Take over one state on the map. Automatic win in battle.
(15) Energy Boost: Gain 2 extra turns for the day.
(20) Spies: Find out the items that all other players possess, find out what items are in play (such as Ninjas), and see all numbers submitted in for attacks/defenses against you for one day. This item's use won't be announced. If the user approves, I will go ahead and submit the statistically optimal number on their behalf, to keep the game moving.
(20) Chemical Weapons: An opponent loses 3 turns for the day.
(20) Satellite Defenses: Defend against all item use for one day (like other defenses, must be used preemptively). This item’s use won’t be announced. THIS ITEM CANNOT BE USED ON THE LAST DAY.
(25) Blitzkrieg: Conquer 2 adjoining territories. Automatic win in battle.
(30) Atomic Bomb: Take over at least 1 state, with the possibility of taking up to 4 adjoining states. When using this item, post the 4 states you want, in order of priority. I’ll roll a die, and determine how many you’ll actually take (1-4).
(30) Ninjas: Send in 2 numbers for every attack and defense you make during one day (doubles your chances of winning each battle). This item's use won't be announced. Limited to 3 uses per game.
(35) Death Ray: Conquer 3 adjoining territories at once. Automatic win in battle.

Alliance Items: These items are purchased by 2 players together, either by both PMing me or both posting in the thread. The purchase price and the spoils are split evenly.
(40) Double Team: Conquer any 2 countries and take 2 turns (which you can use yourself) from an opposing player.
(80) Shock and Awe: Conquer 6 adjoining territories and make each affected player lose 1 turn (if they have any remaining).

Chart of who owns what

I'm annexing Dr.Uzukistan and the Xardocratic Empire on my way out the door!

Annexing Gechmiralia.

Attacking YeOldeButchere Bay and orionmkfso.

Ideally, Plaromvia will be my capital once I conquer my way across the (gigantic) Bay of Mo0! However, my initial goal is to attain Warlord status. *cackles*

But of course, Zerg, you're my first obstacle! I totally planned on annexing Luxitopia. :p

S'alright. Nutty, can I switch from LeHah City to the Elixirian Ocean? I don't believe anyone has taken it yet.

Sure, that's cool. I forgot to add it to the available list.

I'll annex Lehah City as I ponder what to do for my turns today.

Annexing Lukagenegro

Attacking Colonel Skills' Haven of Virgins and Bay of Mo0 for now, more to come later.

you sure you want to attack me so soon I was hpping for a Alliance with you but now I guess that can't happen

I will attack

Dullenplainsylvania
US of IC
SR of Bradylama

and save one more turn for later

Yeah I'm sure that I want to attack you, and who says an alliance can't happen now?

Last 2 attacks on Smelnickaragua and wvlfpvpia

holy crap. I missed out on things this morning hardcore. stupid work. Well, guess I'll annex to Plaromvia

Any chance the ocean can be a different color? Let's say, dark dark blue or black? :D

[1 1/4] Capo
[1 2/4] Lukage

Then it wouldn't be an ocean, more like a black pit of despair (and Summonmaster has that covered).

Our first battle result of the game:
-Domino/ctu for CS Haven of Virgins: ctu defends

Not posting any attacks yet, but I'd like to point out how happy the map looks when flipped upside down.

No links from Blah to Styphon?

Attacking Blue Kirbystan and the Isle of Blah. Other turns pending on the result of a PM.

Well, I guess I'll attack

Isle of Miles
Smelnickaragua
and
Plaromvia

Sup' Smelnick.

No, the Sea of Sassafrass is TOO HUGE FOR ANY MAN TO CROSS.

Results:
-Domino/Smelnick for Bay of Mo0: Domino conquers
-Domino/Smelnick for Smelnickaragua: Smelnick defends
-Domino/wvlfpvp for wvlfpvpia: wvlfpvp defends
-wvlfpvp/Yeldarb for Isle of Blah: Yeldarb defends

I will expand my shoreline properties . . . attacking:

1. nazfailonia
2. Ryuu's Secret Shores
3. Dr. Uzukistan
4. ctu HQ

Attacking ?^___^? and October Omicron Bay

Oh, it looks like I need to retaliate!

Attacking ctu HQ, the People's Republic of Devo, and Duchy of Lord Styphon.

Attacking:

BlueMikey's Land of Puppies
Freelance Wolftopia
CHz
a_country

Advancing toward~

Grawltasia
IM's Land of Jelly Turtles
CTU HQ
Dullenplainsylvania

Busy busy busy in real life, so these moves slide in late.

Day 1 Turn 2: Attack CHz (As an aside, shouldn't it be CHzia or CHzslovakia or something?)
Day 1 Turn 3: Attack Sea of Sassafrass

Good night and good luck!

nikiri and Encephalonia to finish the day.

Time to go on the move and retaliate against Dullenplain for his most heinous actions! Shintasia, Gechmiralia, wvlfpvpia, and Plaromvia.

Going after Bigturnip Ocean, Summonmaster's Pit of Despair, Dominovia, and Solderia.

[1 3/4] Rockgamer
[1 4/4] Zergrinch

The weapon for today is the Simply Majestic Clone. A rogue mad scientist has created clones of Simply Majestic, and as part of his devious experiment, he's given each of you one clone of your own. When deployed, an SMC will annoy and distract your chosen opponent with its inane banter, causing them to have a 10% chance of their attacks failing. The effect of the clones is cummulative, meaning if 3 clones are deployed against a player, then that player would have a 30% chance of each of their attacks failing.

As always, I can't update the map from work, but the results on the chart are updated each time I post battle results. Players (especially you, Dullenplain), please PM me your attack numbers whenever you post attacks in the thread. It's really silly to post attacks, then make the rest of us wait 24 hours because you didn't send any numbers.

Results:
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for YeOldeButchere Bay: orionmk3 defends
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for orionmkfso: orionmk3 defends
-ctu/Identity Crisis for US of IC: ctu conquers
-ctu/Zergrinch for SR of Bradylama: Zergrinch defends
-Zergrinch/knkwzrd for AR of Capo: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/wvlfpvp for Lukagenegro: Zergrinch conquers
-wvlfpvp/Identity Crisis for ?^_______^?: wvlfpvp conquers
-wvlfpvp/RockgamerXIII for OO Bay: RockgamerXIII defends
-Ryuu/knkwzrd for CHz: draw, resubmit numbers
-orionmk3/knkwzrd for knkwzrdlandia: orionmk3 conquers
-orionmk3/knkwzrd for Sea of Sassafrass: knkwzrd defends

Additional:
-Identity Crisis/ctu for Duchy of Lord Styphon: ctu defends

Some Domino action:
-wvlfpvp/Domino for Blue Kirbystan: Domino defends
-orionmk3/Domino for Blue Kirbystan: Domino defends
-RockgamerXIII/Domino for Dominovia: RockgamerXIII conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Domino for Soldieria: RockgamerXIII conquers

Oh fuck this shit. Losing left and right.

knkwzrdlandia
YeOldeButchereBay
orionmkfso
Alicetopia

My capital! :argh:

I'll be attempting to retake the US of IC and ?^______^? as well as attacking ctu HQ and the Isle of Miles.

Well I'll start off my day with some attacks against:

Quarkyland
and
BlueMikey's Land of Puppies

knkwzrd has used his Simply Majestic Clone on orion_mk3. This means that each of orion's attacks today has a 10% chance of failing.

Yippee, more results! Things aren't looking good for a couple of players.
-ctu/Dullenplain for Dullenplainsylvania: ctu conquers
-Dullenplain/Tritoch for nazfailonia: Tritoch defends
-Dullenplain/Ryuu for Ryuu's Secret Shores: Ryuu defends
-Dullenplain/Tritoch for Dr. Uzukistan: Dullenplain conquers
-Dullenplain/ctu for CTU HQ: ctu defends
-Identity Crisis/ctu for CTU HQ: ctu defends
-Ryuu/Identity Crisis for a_country: Identity Crisis defends
-Plarom/ctu for CTU HQ: Plarom conquers
-Plarom/ctu for Dullenplainsylvania: Plarom conquers
-Tritoch/Dullenplain for Shintasia: Tritocn conquers
-Tritoch/Dullenplain for Gechmiralia: Tritoch conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Dullenplain for Bigturnip Ocean: Dullenplain defends

One more:
-Ryuu/Domino for Freelance Wolftopia: Ryuu conquers

I must retake my capital, attacking Dominovia.
Also attacking Dr. Uzukistan

Must take back Lukagenegro; I'm gonna go after Commonwealth of the Dopefish, Grawltasia, and Alicetopia

Using tanks on Xardocratic Empire.

Attacking:
Arab Republic of Capo
Crash Landon's Keep
Luxitopia
Brent's Haggis Haven

More results:
-Identity Crisis/wvlfpvp for PR of Devo: Identity Crisis conquers
-Plarom/wvlfpvp for Infernal Monkey's LoJT: wvlfpvp defends
-Tritoch/wvlfpvp for wvlfpvpia: Tritoch conquers
-Identity Crisis/wvlfpvp for ?^_______^?: Identity Crisis conquers
-wvlfpvp/Zergrinch for Lukagenegro: wvlfpvp conquers

Guess it's time to take back Dullenplainsylvania

and I'll go after Tails' FFZ, Shintasia and Gechmiralia, once again.

Results aplenty:
-Ryuu/knkwzrd for CHz: knkwzrd defends
-Plarom/Ryuu for Grawltasia: Plarom conquers
-orionmk3/knkwzrd for CHz: knkwzrd defends
-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for Summonmaster's PoD: Yeldarb defends
-Yeldarb/Zergrinch for Quarkyland: Zergrinch defends
-Ryuu/Zergrinch for AR of Capo: Ryuu conquers
-Ryuu/Zergrinch for Luxitopia: Ryuu conquers
-Ryuu uses Tanks to take Xardocratic Empire
-Domino/Dullenplain for Dr. Uzukistan: Dullenplain defends

I shall now attack:

Luxitopia
and
Darkcometalia

My clone will be used on Zergrinch for no reason at all. ^__^

I forgot to mention earlier, but wvlfpvp used his Simply Majestic Clone on Plarom, meaning Plarom's attacks now have a 10% chance of failing.

Zergrinch has reclaimed his homeland:
-Zergrinch/RockgamerXIII for Rockgamerstein: RockgamerXIII defends
-Zergrinch/RockgamerXIII for Zergrinchtopia: Zergrinch conquers
-Domino/RockgamerXIII for Dominovia: RockgamerXIII defends

Launching another assualt on Dominovia
Going to re-take Freelance Wolftopia

I will retaliate and use my own Clone on knkwzrd.

My opening attacks are in a similar vein:

Day 2 Turn 1: Attack CHz
Day 2 Turn 2: Attack Sea of Sassafrass

There will be more later.

Do Simply Majestic Clones apply to attacks made before they were deployed? They are a defensive mechanism, after all.

Also, using Tanks to take Musharaffdom.

No they don't. I tried.

wvlfpvp is correct; using your SMC on knkwzrd now is pointless, because he's already used all his turns. All items in the game (unless I specify otherwise, since I've got an idea for an item of the day) work in chronological order. Like Ninjas, Phoenix Shields, Spies, and other non-attack items, you may let me know ahead of time if you want to use the item the following day.

Oodles of results:
-Yeldarb/Smelnick for Isle of Miles: Smelnick defends
-Yeldarb/Smelnick for Plaromvia: Yeldarb conquers
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for nikiri: knkwzrd conquers
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for Encephalonia: orionmk3 defends
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for Plaromvia: Tritoch conquers
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for knkwzrdlandia: knkwzrd conquers
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for YeOldeButchere Bay: knkwzrd conquers
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for orionmfso: orionmk3 defends
-knkwzrd/orionmk3 for Alicetopia: orionmk3 defends
-Identity Crisis/Smelnick for Isle of Miles: Identity Crisis conquers
-wvlfpvp/orionmk3 for Alicetopia: orionmk3 defends
-orionmk3/knkwzrd for CHz: orionmk3 conquers (not distracted by SMC)
-orionmk3/knkwzrd for Sea of Sassafrass: knkwzrd defends (not distracted by SMC)
-knkwzrd uses Tanks to take Musharrafdom
-Domino uses Tanks to take PR of Devo

And a couple more:
-Identity Crisis/ctu for US of IC: Identity Crisis conquers
-Dullenplain/ctu for Tails' FFZ: Dullenplain conquers

I will get my HQ Back, but first some revange

Day 2 attacks
BM's Land of Puppies
Elixirian Ocean
Grawltasia
C of The Dopefish

Last update of the night. Several players might not live to see tomorrow...

-Ryuu/Plarom for BlueMikey's LoP: Plarom defends
-Identity Crisis/Plarom for CTU HQ: Plarom defends
-Yeldarb/Plarom for BlueMikey's LoP: Yeldarb conquers
-wvlfpvp/Plarom for C of The Dopefish: Plarom defends
-wvlfpvp/Plarom for Grawltasia: wvlfpvp conquers
-Dullenplain/Plarom for Dullenplainsylvania: Plarom defends
-Yeldarb/Plarom for Darkcometalia: Yeldarb conquers
-ctu/Yeldarb for BlueMikey's LoP: Yeldarb defends
-ctu/Plarom for Elixirian Ocean: ctu conquers
-ctu/wvlfpvp for Grawltasia: wvlfpvp defends
-ctu/Plarom for C of The Dopefish: Plarom defends

[2 1/4] Lukage
[2 2/4] Infernal
[2 3/4] Grawl
[2 4/4] Lukage/Infernal/Grawl

I'll delay my use of the Clone until tomorrow then; same target. I'd also like to use Tanks to reclaim nikiri.

Day 2 Turn 3: Attack YeOldeButchere Bay
Day 2 Turn 4: Attack Musharrafdom

That's it for tonight.

Attacking Denicalistia, AcerBanditia, Isle of Blah, and New Yerdarb...

To start the day, I'm going to use my Atomic Bomb on the People's Republic of Devo. My four possible extra countries will be, in order, Blue Kirbystan, Mucknugglia, a_country and Acerbanditia.

Second turn, I'll attack Commonwealth of the Dopefish

Geez.. I almost went to sleep without attacking anyone.

I'll use my only tank to mow over DarkCometalia.

Luxitopia
BlueMikey's LoP
Elixirian Ocean
Sea of Sassafrass

:cow:

I use my tank to retake CTU HQ

I'll use my tank on Smelnickaragua.

Going after Bay of Mo0, Dr. Uzukistan, Tails' Furry Fun Zone, and Bigturnip Ocean.

Under the cover of darkness, I'm launching a full-scale invasion of Orionmkfso, CHz, Encephalonia, and Alicetopia. That _mk3 implies he's a robot, and I just won't stand for android overlords.

Today's weapon is Legion's Satanic Intervention. Legion will slaughter a goat as a sacrifice to the Dark Lord on your behalf. This has a 5/6 chance of taking one turn from the player of your choice and adding that turn to your own, but a 1/6 chance of giving your opponent an extra turn instead. The Prince of Darkness isn't perfect, you know.

Zergrinch posted 6 attacks yesterday (2 at 9:06am, and 4 at 11:28pm). Unless he's using his energy boost, the last 2 attacks are nullified. Please let me know, Zerg.

Clarifying the Atomic Bomb once again, it covers 1 country and up to 3 others, for a possible total of 4 countries.

Lots of results to sort through, so I'll post those in a little while.

I'm not going to re-order my list, so you can just chop the last country off.

Awww, you aren't gonna consider the 9:06 am attacks as part of day 1? :(

I did label them as such (X Y/Z) where X=Day, Y=Turn#, Z=Total Turns

Umm...no, since GFF has clearly timestamped them 6 minutes into Day 2. You can label them Day 13 for all I care, but I go by GFF's timestamp. You shouldn't wait 'til the last minute to post your attacks. ;)

I'm disappointed with you people. Smelnick was hanging by a thread last night, and instead of finishing him off with a Tank, you let him get his attacks in. Where's the bloodlust? Smelnick lives as long as one of his attacks on Yeldarb is successful.

None of the SMCs were effective yesterday. Today, orion_mk3 has launched Simply Majestic against knkwzrd, and Zergrinch has launched Simply Majestic against Yeldarb.

Results:
-Ryuu/Tritoch for Crash Landon's Keep: Tritoch defends
-Dullenplain/Tritoch for Shintasia: Dullenplain conquers
-Dullenplain/Tritoch for Gechmiralia: Dullenplain conquers
-Yeldarb/Ryuu for Luxitopia: Ryuu defends
-Domino/RockgamerXIII for Dominovia: RockgamerXIII defends
-Domino/Ryuu for Freelance Wolftopia: Ryuu defends
-orionmk3/knkwzrd for YeOldeButchere Bay: orionmk3 conquers
-orionmk3/knkwzrd for Musharrafdom: orionmk3 conquers
-wvlfpvp drops an Atomic Bomb on the People's Republic of Devo, and the fallout spreads to Blue Kirbystan
-Plarom uses Tanks to invade Darkcometalia
-Plarom/Ryuu for Luxitopia: Plarom conquers
-Plarom/knkwzrd for Sea of Sassafrass: Plarom conquers
-ctu uses Tanks to invade CTU HQ
-Yeldarb uses Tanks to invade Smelnickaragua

But I was busy playing astroempires and lost track of time ;____; What's 6 minutes between pals :D

The focused attacks against wvlf stand. And no use of items. Meanie :(

Huh? If they stand, you'll have to use an Energy Boost to get the last 2 turns.

Cancel the 9:08 AM attacks then :p

I can't, you doof, they've already gone through.

...

Fine, use the item. Argh. C'mon, just 6 minutes!

Tritoch has guessed my terrible secret. I must therefore launch a counterattack before word spreads and I get requests to solve complex differential equations.

Day 3 Turn 1: Attack wvlfpvpia
Day 3 Turn 2: Attack Crash's Keep

I would also like to purchase, and use, 2 Tanks, aimed at nikiri and knkwzrdlandia.
Apparently my use of tanks on nikiri got missed last night; I assume there was a legitimate reason for that (the Clone, perhaps?); if not, there's no need to attack it again since I'd already own the joint (in that case, cancel both the purchase and the attack please).

Oh fuck.

You're right, I missed nikiri last night. You only needed to purchase 1 Tank, since you still have the initial one from the start of the game. With the 2 Tank attacks, knkwzrd is the first to be eliminated from the game.

-orionmk3 uses Tanks to invade nikiri and knkwzrdlandia
-orionmk3 gets spoils of war 39 gil and 1 item (Energy Boost).

More results:
-Tritoch/orionmk3 for orionmkfso: Tritoch conquers
-Tritoch/orionmk3 for CHz: Tritoch conquers
-Tritoch/orionmk3 for Encephalonia: orionmk3 defends
-Tritoch/orionmk3 for Alicetopia: orionmk3 defends

I'll make my next two moves then, before someone decides to get Satanic on my ass. It's time to counterattack some more and reclaim the Motherland :D

Day 3 Turn 3: Attack orionmkfso
Day 4 Turn 4: Attack CHz

[3 1/4] Shin
[3 2/4] Gechmir
[3 3-4/4] Shin/Gechmir (if I didn't win) Uzuki/Tails/Turnip (if Rockgamer doesn't win) Blah (if none applied)

o Zergrinch u

I'd ban contingencies if I didn't know you were in a wonky time zone, and in a perfect setup game actions would happen instantaneously. Still, if everyone starts doing it, I'll have to ban them, because I won't be able to keep track.

I shall use Legion's Satanic Intervention and a Simply Majestic Clone on Yeldarb!

I think it is time for me to use a nuke. Launching nuke at Infernal's Land of JT and hoping that the fallout spreads to ?^_______^?, Brent's Haggis Haven and Arab Rep. of Capo.

Attacking LeHah City, Freelance Wolftopia, Xardoctic Empire and Ryuu's SS

Plarom has used both Simply Majestic and Legion on Yeldarb today. The outcome is that Yeldarb loses one turn, and his attacks now have a 20% chance of failing.

Domino nuked Infernal's LoJT, which is important to determining if Zergrinch killed off wvlfpvp last night. As such, I'd still like wvlfpvp to submit number(s) for that battle with Zergrinch, even though it's no longer relevant.

-Domino drops an Atomic Bomb on Infernal Monkey's Land of Jelly Turtles, and the fallout spreads to ?^_______^?

I'm going to work on a northern offensive:

RacinReaveronia
Isthmus of Tritopia
Merv Burgerstan
Plaromvia

I'll make my move early today, since my countries seem to be in high demand. First of all, I'd like to buy a Death Ray and cast its lovely light all over Lukagenegro, Blue Kirbystan, and the Peoples' Republic of Devo. Then I'll roll a tank on into Grawltasia, thus beating Zerg to the reward money.

EDIT: In case I'm remembering wrong and items don't beat turns chronologically so I'd still have to wait on Zerg's results and such, just cancel all of that.

Items don't trump chronological order. You of all people should know that.

Dullenplain fended off Zergrinch's death charge and rebounded nicely:

-RockgamerXIII/Dullenplain for Dr. Uzukistan: RockgamerXIII conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Dullenplain for Tails' FFZ: Dullenplain defends
-RockgamerXIII/Dullenplain for Bigturnip Ocean: Dullenplain defends
-orionmk3/Tritoch for wvlfpvpia: orionmk3 conquers
-orionmk3/Tritoch for Crash Landon's Keep: orionmk3 conquers
-orionmk3/Tritoch for orionmkfso: Tritoch defends
-orionmk3/Tritoch for CHz: orionmk3 conquers
-Zergrinch/Dullenplain for Shintasia: Dullenplain defends
-Zergrinch/Dullenplain for Gechmiralia: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/Dullenplain for Tails' FFZ: Dullenplain defends
-Dullenplain/Zergrinch for RacinReaveronia: Dullenplain conquers
-Dullenplain/Tritoch for Isthmus of Tritopia: Tritoch defends
-Dullenplain/Zergrinch for Merv Bergerstan: Zergrinch defends

Very well then. In that case, I use the Death Ray on RacinReaveronia, Tails' Furry Fun Zone, and Shintasia. Then I'll use my specially fitted Tank to take the Bigturnip Ocean.

Given that it seems like Tritoch is bent on taking my spoils, I'll hand over everything to him anyway.

However, I request that I claim hosting rights to the next GFF Risk game. I have some things I want to try out.

I buy a nuke and I use it to attack in this order

1: SR of Bradylama
2: Brent's Haggis Haven
3: Arab Rep. of Capo
4: US of IC

Cool, cool.. But couldn't you have given ME all your stuff, instead? :gonk:

Sure, fine by me. It's more work than it looks though; just ask Zergrinch.

wvlfpvp survives Zergrinch, IC forfeits a battle, and Dullenplain becomes the second casualty:

-Ryuu/Identity Crisis for Brent's HH: Ryuu conquers (no number)
-Zergrinch/wvlfpvp for Lukagenegro: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/wvlfpvp for Infernal Monkey's LoJT: wvlfpvp defends
-Zergrinch/wvlfpvp for Grawltasia: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/wvlfpvp for Infernal Monkey's LoJT: wvlfpvp defends again
-Dullenplain/Tritoch for Plaromvia: Dullenplain surrenders, Tritoch defends
-Tritoch uses Death Ray on RacinReaveronia, Tails' FFZ and Shintasia
-Tritoch uses Tanks to invade Bigturnip Ocean
-Tritoch gets spoils of war 42 gil and 2 items (Energy Boost, Tanks)
-ctu drops an Atomic Bomb on Socialist Republic of Bradylama, and the fallout drifts into Brent's Haggis Haven (yum, irradiated sheep intestines!)

Huzzah! Now for my attacks.

- Peoples' Republic of Devo
- Once more if that one fails.
- Blue Kirbystan
- Once more if that one fails.

Anything else today will depend on if I still have attacks left over. Gotta match my previous achievement of 2 kills in one day!

Oops, I'd better get any other pending battles out of the way while I'm here. >.>

Anyway, I'll attack Mucknugglia, ?^_____^?, Elixirian Ocean, and Bay of Mo0.

EDIT: Okay, I only had one battle I apparently overlooked. Phew.

I forgot to ask. Does this mean I get an extra turn?

Turnip, I'm confused. What about Domino's action?

I'll attack Smelnickaragua(hmmmmmmm...), Summonmaster's POD, and BM's Land of Puppies and Plaromvia

Yes, it does. Forgot to mention that.

You mean the Atomic Bomb on Infernal Monkey? I had already processed that, but I needed to know whether Zergrinch took it from you first. Since you kept it until after your own Atomic Bomb, you survived the day. Now you just have to survive Tritoch and/or win Dopefish from Plarom.

Results coming shortly.

Edit: Ok, I lied. No results to post, but I did update the map.

Using tanks on wvlfpvpia and attacking Isle of Blah for my last two turns.

You know item use doesn't take up turns, right? You can use as many items as you want during the day.

Ok, I'll use an energy boost to increase my attack power.

1. Nikiri
2. Zergrinchtopia
3. ornmkfso
4. Xardocratic Empire
5. Freelance Wolftopia
and
6. Musharafdom

I'll send my numbers for everything now.

EDIT: Damn, I forgot. =/

Using my clone against Yeldarb. <3 you buddy, but all's fair on the intarw3bz

Seems I have an unprocessed turn left. Forget all that contingency stuff, and launch an attack against the isthmus of Tritoch for me please.

So wait, using the tanks as part of the attack doesn't take up the attack?

Nope.

Too late, he already used his attacks today. Unfortunately, the SMCs didn't stop Yeldarb, but if it had been 30%, 2 of his attacks would have failed.

3: Arab Rep. of Capo
4: Sprouticus Conf.

Energy Bost
1: Grawltasia
2: BlueMikey's LoP

Sprouticus Confederacy
United States of I.C.
BlueMikey's LoP

Attacking the following:

Colonel Skills' Haven of Virgins
Summonmaster's Pit of Despair
Darkcomtalia
Commonwealth of The Dopefish

Mmm.. Good morning, Riskers. Just figured I'd drop in and say I'll be thinking of all of you today while at work.

...Mwahaha.

Additional Spam:
Sometimes it's good to be early.

Can I change one of my attacks? Instead of BlueMikey's LoP, I'd like to attack CTU HQ.

Well I have to head to work. So I'll preempt a couple of attacks

Nazfailonia
Tails land of furry things
Smelnickaragua

Today's item is Fjordor's War and Peace. You may employ Fjordor to upload his lengthy tome to one opponent's network, causing it to overload. As a result, said opponent will be unable to submit numbers for attacks and defense for the day (I will supply random numbers instead). This item doesn't prevent them from attacking, it just removes their ability to select which numbers they use. As always, this weapon works chronologically, so it doesn't work on battles posted before you use the item.

You can't post attacks before 9am, no matter what the reason (if I did it for you, I'd have to do it for everyone). They'll take effect when you post them again, otherwise I'll post them at 9pm, in accordance with the absentee rule.

Results coming shortly.

Attacking Mucknugglia and using my Tome on Domino.

A heads up: ctu used his Simply Majestic Clone on wvlfpvp(he sent me a PM). Also, Zergrinch and Smelnick have purchased a Double Team and used it on Tritoch, meaning he only has 2 turns today, and they each have one extra turn. I allowed them to use the turn portion of the weapon pre-emptively, but Zergrinch or Smelnick will need to post which 2 countries they're taking. And of course, wvlfpvp has used his Fjordor on Domino.

I don't believe we have any Warlords yet:
-Plarom/ctu for Elixirian Ocean: Plarom conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Domino for Bay of Mo0: RockgamerXIII conquers (no number)
-Identity Crisis/Plarom for Elixirian Ocean: Plarom defends
-Identity Crisis/RockgamerXIII for Bay of Mo0: Identity Crisis conquers
-ctu/Ryuu for AR of Capo: ctu conquers
-ctu/RockgamerXIII for Sprouticus C: RockgamerXIII defends
-ctu/Zergrinch for Grawltasia: Zergrinch defends
-Plarom/Identity Crisis for Bay of Mo0: Identity Crisis defends
-Plarom/RockgamerXIII for OO Bay: RockgamerXIII defends
-Plarom/RockgamerXIII for Sprouticus C: RockgamerXIII defends

Smelnick and I hereby target Shin and RacinReaver, with the proviso that Smelnick gets the Brit.

I hereby also use as many turns as required to conquer

[1] Ryuu
[2] Lehah

to knock out Ryuu. Even if it means using all five of my turns.

Done. Please note that Ryuu told me early yesterday he would be gone until Sunday, and he wasn't sure if he would have internet access (so far he hasn't). He left me a number for defense, but no attacks. As I have in the past, I'll wait until 9pm tonight to post his defense, in case he pops his head in earlier.

On the other hand, ctu sent me attacks to post tonight, but no defense numbers. Sigh.

I'm not sure how I feel about a pre-emptive Double Team like that unless there's a precedent, but for now at least I'll just attack the Socialist Republic of Bradylama and Col. Skills' Haven of Virgins.

Well, considering Zergrinch is around at 9am every morning anyway to make it official, it really didn't need to be preemptive. He and Smelnick both confirmed the purchase and the plan with me last night, and Zerg posted here, so it's not really all that preemptive. At any rate, a Double Team takes turns, and other weapons like that can be used preemptively.

Yeah, Zerg posting here before me is the main reason I'm not arguing it. The item itself is iffy since it also takes countries and you can't use Tanks and such pre-emptively.

As I explained to Zerg last night, only the turn stealing portion of the weapon could be used preemptively. His attacks wouldn't have been effective until he posted them. I agree, it's a gray area, but a weapon that takes turns is difficult to use if you can't do it preemptively.

Anyway, result:
-wvlfpvp/Domino for Mucknugglia: wvlfpvp conquers

Hopefully it should grant me better luck than what I had yesterday, I can't beleive all my attacks failed.

Ok, time for attacks, but first I'll use my Tome on Orion_mk.

1. Nikiri
2. knkwzrd
3. Musharaff
4. New Yeldarbstan

A correction: I awarded Mucknugglia to wvlfpvp earlier, because I thought Domino owned it. Actually, there was a pending battle, and it now belongs to Identity Crisis, so wvlfpvp's attack is pending. Also, Yeldarb has attacked nikiri a second time, while his first attack is pending.

Results:
-Identity Crisis/Domino for Mucknugglia: Identity Crisis conquers
-Identity Crisis/Domino for ?^_______^?: Domino defends
-Yeldarb/orionmk3 for knkwzrdlandia: Yeldarb conquers
-Yeldarb/orionmk3 for Musharrafdom: orionmk3 defends

Oh, you mean Mucknugglia, not wvlfpvpia.

Yes. It's been a confusing morning (and game).

Energy Boost time I think

Attacking the following for now, more to come later:

People's Republic of Devo
wvlfpvpia
Isle of Blah

Glad I'm not the only one having trouble keeping track of what is going on.

Oh, woops. I'd like to switch my attack from Col. Skills' Haven of Virgins over to the Arab Republic of Capo. Adding to the confusion!

I hate you all so much.

Results:
-ctu/Identity Crisis for US of IC: ctu conquers
-Plarom/ctu for US of IC: ctu defends
-wvlfpvp/Identity Crisis for Mucknugglia: wvlfpvp conquers

Oh. Then I guess instead of nikiri, then I'll attack Crash's Keep.

Ok then:
-Yeldarb/orionmk3 for Crash Landon's Keep: Yeldarb conquers

I was able to find a computer today, so I'll send numbers against Zerg's attacks, nutty.

In any case, if I'm still alive after that, I want to:

Buy a Death Ray and use it on: Acerbanditia, Qwarkyland, and Gechmiralia.

Attacks on: Grawltasia, Lukagenegro, RacinReaveronia, and Isthmus of Tritopia.

Zergrinch's onslaught on Ryuu succeeded, and Ryuu is the third player eliminated. Zergrinch has 2 turns remaining today and lots of money; I fear for the rest of you when he wakes up.

Results:
-wvlfpvp/Plarom for Sea of Sassafrass: Plarom defends
-ctu/Plarom for Dullenplainsylvania: ctu conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Plarom for Darkcometalia: Plarom defends
-RockgamerXIII/Plarom for C of The Dopefish: RockgamerXIII conquers
-Zergrinch/Ryuu for Ryuu's SS: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/Ryuu for LeHah City: Ryuu defends
-Zergrinch/Ryuu for LeHah City: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch gets spoils of war 49 gil and 1 item (Energy Boost)

Ok, now it's time for all out assault.

I use an Energy Boost to give me two extra turns, and with them I attack Musharaff land.

Now I use a Death Ray on Enchephilonia, Alicetopia, and CHz.

crap. I guess they didn't count cause I forgot to state what time lol. I suck
well. Call them into action now!

Also add in

Blue Kirbystan

Kthxbai

Countering with my last 2 turns with Infernals Land of Jelly Turtles and ?^_______^?

Remainder of attacks are:

Mucknugglia, Dominovia and nazfailonia

Oh, and I'll use my tome on Identity Crisis

By my count, you've still got one turn left, unless I'm missing something.

Anyway, here's the results. The map is clearly divided between the haves and the have nots:

-ctu/Smelnick for BlueMikey's LoP: Smelnick defends
-RockgamerXIII/Smelnick for Summonmaster's PoD: Smelnick defends
-Yeldarb/Smelnick for New Yeldarbstan: Yeldarb conquers
-Domino/wvlfpvp for PR of Devo: wvlfpvp defends
-Domino/wvlfpvp for wvlfpvpia: Domino conquers
-Domino/wvlfpvp for Isle of Blah: Domino conquers
-Yeldarb/orionmk3 for Musharrafdom: Yeldarb conquers
-Yeldarb uses Death Ray to incinerate Encephalonia, Alicetopia, and CHz
-wvlfpvp/Domino for Infernal Monkey's LoJT: Domino defends
-wvlfpvp/Domino for ?^_______^?: Domino defends

Ookies. Here's by last actions:

Devo
Devo / Crash Landon

ctu sent me these battles to post in his absence. As he didn't send me any defense, his defenses will start defaulting tomorrow morning.

ctu attacks wvlfpvpia, Sea of Sassafrass, Isle of Blah, and PR of Devo.

I should also point out that per the rules, ctu's attacks take effect at 9PM on the dot, regardless of when I post them. Therefore, if ctu takes PR of Devo before Zergrinch, he'll get the spoils from wvlfpvp.


There's some choice pickings now...

-Yeldarb/orionmk3 for nikiri: Yeldarb conquers (no number)
-Domino/wvlfpvp for Mucknugglia: Domino conquers
-ctu/Domino for wvlfpvpia: ctu conquers
-ctu/Domino for Isle of Blah: ctu conquers

Map says I have control of Tails. Chart says Tritoch has it. Requesting confirmation.

Never mind. Death ray.

I purchase an Atomic Bomb and use it on a_country. Possible 3 others: Alice, Encephalon, and CHz

I'll be buying and using a Blitzkrieg on Infernal Monkey's Land of Jelly Turtles and ?^___^?. Also one of my tanks is going to be sent on into Mucknugglia.

Sorry for the delay; it belongs to Tritoch. There was a problem with color bleedthrough with RacinReaveronia and Tails which is now fixed.

So Tails' Furry Fun Zone was bleeding?

Additional Spam:
Tank to YeOldeButchere Bay.

No numbers? Geez, I'm travelling for a day and I don't even get to put in a roll? It's not even the end of the day yet.

Oh well, whatever. Remind me never to leave my terminal and live a vampirelike existance, shackled to its harsh glow, next game.

Hey, I was out all day until about 2 hours ago. Don't worry, the rest of your ill-fated alliance shall soon follow.

And thus it was written that wvlfpvp and orion_mk3 would be the next to perish. Domino's fate rests in his battle with RockgamerXIII.

You don't have to be shackled to your monitor, orion. If you'd sent a defense for nikiri, or even a standby all-purpose defense number, you wouldn't be dead.

Um, didn't I take Orion's last territory?

And also for my last attack: Mucknugglia.

Hmm... my attacks are random, eh? Oh well, I might as well post them. I'll attack a_country, Isle of Blah, Alicetopia, and Denicalistia.

Since my attacks are going to prove to be less than effective, I'd like to buy a Blitzkrieg and take out knkwzrdlandia and Zergrinchtopia. While I'm at it, I'll use Tanks to take back my US of IC, and I'll buy some Tanks to run over RacinReaveronia.

Domino has bitten the dust. It's down to 8 players now, some with money and some with territory.

Results:

-Smelnick/Tritoch for Tails FFZ: Tritoch defends
-Smelnick/Yeldarb for Smelnickaragua: Yeldarb defends
-Domino/RockgamerXIII for Dominovia: RockgamerXIII defends

-Identity Crisis uses a Blitzkrieg to strike down knkwzrdlandia and Zergrinchtopia
-Identity Crisis uses Tanks to invade US of IC and RacinReaveronia
-Zergrinch and Yeldarb agree to trade LeHah City and AcerBanditia

YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT IC!!!!

I'll buy a tank and attack knkland.

I did send the attack numbers for my attacks

And you would've gotten away with it too, if you had enough gil!

Hah, that'll teach you to spend all your cash whittling down my alliance mate Orion for Tritoch to kill :D

Also buying and using Blitzkrieg on Tails and RacinReaver.

Folks are dropping left and right.. I'll go after the following:

OO Bay
Bay of Mo0
knkwzrdlandia
Isle of Miles

Continiuing the onslaught:

Socialist Republic of Bradylama
Freelance Wolftopia
People's Republic of Devo
CTU Headquarters (how could I not own this already?)

I lost track of what was going on a couple of days ago, but nether the less it was a good game.

I used that yesterday.

I demand my tribute of 5 gil from ctu, Tritoch, Yeldarb, Smelnick, and RockgamerXIII!

The item for today is bobo's charity drive. bobo's always looking for money, either to fund his lavish trips to the Caribbean, or other "side" projects. When you use this item against an opponent, bobo will count their total number of actions for the day (including item usage), and take that amount in gil from them and give it to you. For example, if Player X attacks 4 times and uses 2 items, then you would get 6 gil.

Everyone hold their horses while I sort out what went on while I slept.

Quite right; I forgot to cross it off on my list. Tritoch doesn't get an Energy Boost.

What I can say is that Zergrinch uses Fjordor on Tritoch, which means all of Tritoch's numbers will be randomized today. Additionally, Tritoch uses Chemical Weapons on Zergrinch, which means that Zergrinch only has one turn today. I'll let you know if anything else is in my PMs.

The suspense is killing me!

As of the results I've got right now, Zergrinch is definitely a Warlord, and takes tribute from Tritoch, Smelnick and RockgamerXIII. Yeldarb's Warlord status depends on whether he defends knkwzrdlandia from Plarom. If Yeldarb is a Warlord, he'll get tribute from Identity Crisis, ctu, Smelnick and possibly RockgamerXIII; if not, he'll owe Zergrinch tribute.

Actions/results:

-Plarom/ctu for CTU HQ: ctu defends
-RockgamerXIII for Colonel Skills' HoV: RockgamerXIII conquers (no number)
-ctu/Plarom for Sea of Sassafrass: ctu conquers
-Zergrinch gives Yeldarb 3 gil
-Yeldarb uses Tanks to invade knkwzrdlandia
-Zergrinch uses Blitzkrieg to invade Tails' FFZ and RacinReaveronia
-Plarom/RockgamerXIII for OO Bay: Plarom conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Zergrinch for PR of Devo: Zergrinch defends
-RockgamerXIII/ctu for CTU HQ: ctu defends

Additional:

-Tritoch/ctu for SR of Bradylama: Tritoch conquers (no number)
-RockgamerXIII/Tritoch for SR of Bradylama: RockgamerXIII conquers

No attacks yet, but I'd like to add that the post editing yesterday was really annoying. Yeldarb's post that ended up with a tank that couldn't actually be used was edited 3-4 times, and Zerg didn't edit that Blitzkrieg into his until nearly three hours later after there were several more posts in the thread.

It's a cheap way of making your attacks easy to miss.

I'd also like to use a Legion's Satanic Intervention on Zergrinch and a Simply Majestic Clone Yeldarb.

I will attack
1: us of ic
2: SR of Bradylama
3:Sprouticus Conf.
4:?^_______^?

item

bobo's charity drive on RockgamerXIII

Tritoch's usage of Legion's Satanic Intervention fails because Zergrinch has called in his Satellite Defenses today (very powerful defenses indeed to block Satan). Tritoch has used Simply Majestic Clones on Yeldarb, meaning Yeldarb's attacks have a 10% chance of failing. And lastly, ctu has used bobo's Charity Drive on RockgamerXIII.

Results:

-Tritoch/ctu for AR of Capo: ctu defends
-Identity Crisis/ctu for Isle of Blah: ctu defends
-ctu/Tritoch for ?^_______^?: ctu conquers

So... unless I'm mistaken, didn't ctu succeed in stealing 0 gil from RockgamerXIII?

No, bobo's Charity Drive counts up the total number of actions that RockgamerXIII takes today, then takes that amount in gil from Rock and gives it to ctu first thing tomorrow morning.

Results:

-Plarom/Identity Crisis for Bay of Mo0: Plarom conquers
-Plarom/Identity Crisis for Isle of Miles: Identity Crisis defends
-ctu/Identity Crisis for US of IC: Identity Crisis defends

Oh, I see. I thought the item counted the turns taken and took effect immediately.

Anyway, here are the attacks: a_country, RacinReaveronia, knkwzrdlandia, and Alicetopia.

Plarom has secretly used bobo's Charity Drive on Tritoch as he chortles maliciously in his lair. Also, I like how RacinReaveronia has become such a pivotal country in this game.

Results:

-Identity Crisis/Zergrinch for a_country: Identity Crisis conquers
-Identity Crisis/Zergrinch for RacinReaveronia: Identity Crisis conquers

Ok, now that my internet is working I'll doing something.

For now I'll attack Zergrinchtopia and wvlfpvpia.

Oh, and I'll use my bobo on Tritoch.

Smelnick's contingency for tonight (in his absence) was to "pick 4 countries that Tritoch owns at the beginning of the day on saturday, and attack those", so I picked the first 4 countries on the list: nazfailonia, Bigturnip Ocean, Infernal Monkey's LoJT, and Mucknugglia.

Yeldarb has used bobo on Tritoch; I didn't specify earlier, but this item can be cummulative (meaning Tritoch will have to pay Yeldarb and Plarom.

Yeldarb's defense means that he is a Warlord, and collects the tribute I mentioned earlier.

-Plarom/Yeldarb for knkwzrdlandia: Yeldarb defends
-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for Freelance Wolftopia: Yeldarb defends
-Identity Crisis/Yeldarb for knkwzrdlandia: Yeldarb defends
-Identity Crisis/Yeldarb for Alicetopia: Identity Crisis conquers
-Smelnick/Tritoch for nazfailonia: Tritoch defends
-Smelnick/Tritoch for Bigturnip Ocean: Tritoch defends
-Smelnick/Tritoch for Infernal Monkey's LoJT: Smelnick conquers
-Smelnick/Tritoch for Mucknugglia: Tritoch defends

I use Bobo on Tritoch. He has used Chemical Weapons, Legion's Satanic Intervention, Simple Majestic Clone, possibly a Ninja or some Defense, and has to take four more turns! :D

Along with the things Nutty is currently calculating, I'll go ahead and place my four randomized attacks for the day! New Yeldarbstan, the Xardocratic Empire, Freelance Wolftopia, and Encephalonia shall possibly feel my wrath.

Smelnick has learned the hard way not to piss off a man with a lot of money at his disposal, becoming the latest player to fall. Plarom and Yeldarb each lose one turn today as a result of the Shock & Awe.

-Yeldarb/ctu for wvlfpvpia: Yeldarb conquers
-RockgamerXIII and Tritoch use a Shock & Awe to devastate Duchy of Lord Styphon, Infernal Monkey's Land of Jelly Turtles, Luxitopia, BlueMikey's Land of Puppies, ?^_______^?, and Brent's Haggis Haven
-Tritoch uses a Blitzkrieg to storm Plaromvia and Summonmaster's Pit of Despair
-Tritoch uses Tanks to crush Shintasia and Blue Kirbystan
-Tritoch gets spoils of war 24 gil and 2 items (Tanks, Energy Boost)

EDIT:

The Simply Majestic Clone has thwarted Yeldarb's attack on Identity Crisis for Zergrinchtopia.

I'll attack Alicetopia and a_country.

EDIT: Aw damn.

Preserved in case of stealth edits. =D

I still maintain that the Bobo item should follow chronological order, and that there is already an amount due when it is used. Although the amount due is not determined until the day ends, the target should not be able to spend money he doesn't have.

This is different from Warlords. The warlord status is only determined by the end of the day. The liability is only determined then, and is payable immediately.

Therefore, I maintain Tritoch should not have been allowed to spend the entirety of his 45 gil.

The chronological order is as such:

Tritoch preemptively uses Chemical Weapons on me.
Tritoch uses Legion's Satanic Intervention on me.
Tritoch uses Simply Majestic Clone on Yeldarb.
Tritoch uses Shock and Awe with Rockgamer
Tritoch uses Blitzkrieg
Tritoch uses Tanks
Tritoch attacks New Yeldarbstan
Tritoch attacks the Xardocratic Empire
Tritoch attacks Freelance Wolftopia
Tritoch attacks Encephalonia

At the least, he has 10 actions before he spent his money. There are 3 pending bobos against him, totalling 30 gil which he cannot spend.

I want RacinReaver back, BTW.

Haha, just drop it already. I pulled a Bobo and ran off with your money. :edgartpg:


Even if you did go by your rules, pulling chronological order means I did several of those actions before certain Bobos, so I still wouldn't owe 10gil each. Especially not to you, latecomer.

I take that to mean you're attacking it with your one turn, then?

As for the rest of what you said, drop it already. I have enough trouble keeping track of things as it is; I don't have time to keep track of gil that's owed in the future. Tritoch outfoxed you, plain and simple. End of discussion.

Results:

-Tritoch/Yeldarb for New Yeldarbstan: Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for Xardocratic Empire: Tritoch conquers
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for Freelance Wolftopia: Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for Encephalonia: Yeldarb defends

Whoa! I understand Zerg's angle, but the rules do provide a clear solution. It wasn't stipulated that purchasing items had anything to do with bobo's charity drive, so technically, Tritoch could just blow all his money first and leave us all in the dry. A slick, but legal move! :tpg:

Energy Boost. Wooooosh~

Sea of Sassafrass
Isle of Mo0
Isle of Blah
US of I.C.
C of Dopefish!

Attacks will commence on the following:

Merv Burgerstan
Isthmus of Tritopia
Dullenplainsylvania
CTU Headquarters

Ok time to get back up:

Zergrichtopia
Xardocratic Empire
YeOldeButcher Bay
Blue Kirbystan

I'm not feeling particularly creative this morning, so I'm just going to recycle my favorite item of the day: NYRSkate's Highly Ineffective Mongoose: Use this like a Tank, but it only has a 1 in 3 chance of working. Also, I like the acronym, because NHIM is either a Christian rap group or a gay porn star.

Today Zergrinch has used Legion's Satanic Intervention on Tritoch, meaning that Tritoch has 3 turns and Zergrinch has 5 turns today.

Results in a minute.

The following only applies if I haven't been Fjordored or Chemicaled in advance:

I buy and use Satellite Defenses. I use ninjas. I use both my turn boosts.

Regular Turns
Shin
nazpyro
Mucknuggle
Plarom

Additional Turns
Summonmaster
Bluemikey
Face
Brent

Tanks on nuttyturnip

Additional Spam:
Extra Turn on any of those countries I haven't conquered, in proper order.

I also use today's item on any of the countries I haven't taken.

Money transfer from yesterday plays out as follows:

-ctu gets 5 gil from RockgamerXIII from bobo
-Plarom gets 6 gil from Tritoch from bobo; Yeldarb and Zerg get nothing
-Yeldarb is a Warlord and collects tribute from Zergrinch, Identity Crisis and ctu (Tritoch has no gil)
-RockgamerXIII and Zergrinch may be Warlords, pending battle results. I'll adjust the tributes accordingly once everything comes in.

Results:
-Yeldarb/Identity Crisis for Alicetopia: Yeldarb conquers
-Zergrinch/Identity Crisis for RacinReaveronia: Zergrinch conquers

I notice I have 14 gil. The first opportunity that I can, please buy me Tanks and hit any of Tritoch's countries I haven't conquered.

As everyone can see, I'm tapping myself out, and will be defenseless after today. My goal is no longer to win, but to knock out my dear friend :D

I hope to greatly weaken Tritoch, and call for non-OLDK folks, ctu, Plarom, and Yeldarb, to finish him off.

Team OLDK has the following items:
Tritoch: Energy Boostx4, Fjordor, bobo, NYRSkate, Tanks
RockgamerXIII: Tanks, Energy Boost, all 5 items of the day
Identity Crisis: Energy Boost, all 5 items of the day

Tritoch is clearly the most powerful, and has quite a lot of items. I doubt I can finish him off alone, but my blitz should leave him severely weakened. Now is the chance to strike, for the chance to win Risk! While Tritoch has no money, whoever kills him gets 8 extra turns and a set of tanks.

You just have to do it, and quickly, before he wakes up and gets in some turns and the chance to use them up!

Oh good grief, I'm so not the biggest threat here. Just admit you like attacking me and be honest with yourself. =p

On the decent chance of my survival, I'm using a Blitzkrieg on RacinReaveronia and Tails' Furry Fun Zone. Then I'm driving a Tank into Grawltasia. I'm also sending Skate's Highly Ineffective Mongoose diving in the Bigturnip Ocean. God I hope that's not a euphemism for something.

I'll then use two energy boosts to bring me up to seven turns and attack:
- Quarkyland
- Ryuu's Secret Shores
- Gechmiralia
- Acerbanditia
- Peoples' Republic of Devo
- Lukagenegro
- Any Zerg country still unconquered.

That should do for now.

EDIT: Oh yeah, hey OLDK buddies. The enemy's got squat in the way of items today.

Zergrinch: Nothing.
Yeldarb: Legion, Fjordor, bobo, NYRSkate
CTU: Legion, Fjordor, NYRSkate
Plarom: Fjordor, NYRSkate

Zergrinch IS using Ninjas and Spies today though, so be careful attacking him directly. Yeldarb is using Spies.

That's right, they've got nothing right now, so let's hit 'em hard! TO BATTLE (and possibly avenge me)!

No avenging necessary. Now that Tritoch and Zergrinch have exhausted much of their resources and the dust has settled, it appears that Tritoch fared better, including the best performance against Ninjas in Risk so far.

I still need everyone else's numbers to figure out if Zergrinch and RockgamerXIII are Warlords. Remember when I said to send in your numbers at the same time you attack? Yeah.

Wow, that mongoose was highly ineffective.

In the meantime, I'm not quite finished yet. Like Zerg said, eight turns. It'd be a shame not to use the second four. I invoke the power of my other two energy boosts and launch a secondary front against Yeldarb.

- Encephalonia
- Alicetopia
- Crash Landon's Keep
- Knkwzrdlandia

After the below results (all defenses), RockgamerXIII and Zergrinch were both Warlords yesterday. Zergrinch only collects tribute from Identity Crisis, while RockgamerXIII collects tribute from Identity Crisis, Plarom, and ctu.

Simply Majestic Clone on Tritoch
Fjordor's War and Peace on RockgamerXIII

and I will attack
1: ?^_______^?
2: BlueMikey's LoP
3: Grawltasia
4: D. of Lord Styphon

I'll be using my bobo's Charity Drive on ctu for today. As for attacks, I'll be hitting the Sea of Sassafrass, Arab Republic of Capo, CTU HQ, and Isle of Blah.

wow. lots happened this weekend. Sucks that I'm dead. Oh well.

I'll use my NHIM on Summonmaster's Pit of Despair.

1) You already used your clone.
2) Tritoch has already used his turns for the day.

Anyway...

-Plarom/Identity Crisis for Isle of Miles: Identity Crisis defends
-Plarom/Identity Crisis for US of IC: Plarom conquers
-Yeldarb/Identity Crisis for Zergrinchtopia: Yeldarb conquers
-ctu uses Fjordor on RockgamerXIII

-ctu's Highly Ineffective Mongoose fails to capture US of IC
-Identity Crisis uses bobo on ctu
-Yeldarb's Highly Ineffective Mongoose is successful in taking Summonmaster's PoD

I shall use my mongoose on CTU HQ!

Sea of Sassafrass
Isle of Blah
AR of Capo
Duchy of Lord Styphon

It's time to throw a little late night Bobo action in Zergrinch's direction. Charity style.

Well, I guess I can thank ctu, since I didn't feel like coming up with numbers tonight anyway. Attacking:

Summonmaster's PoD
knkwzrdlandia
Zergrinchtopia
nikiri

Before the day ends, I buy Tanks and use them on RacinReaver.

No more items of the day will be given out, since we're reaching the end of the game. Speaking of that, I'm going to end the game Friday morning at 9am, meaning the last full day will be Thursday. I'm surprised this game has gone on this long, but everyone has had strong defenses this go-round.

Zergrinch, Yeldarb and Tritoch all used spies yesterday (and Zergrinch used Ninjas, of course).

Zergrinch, RockgamerXIII, and Yeldarb were all Warlords again yesterday. The money works out as follows:

-Zergrinch gives 7 gil to Yeldarb (to avoid paying bobo)
-ctu collects 4 gil from RockgamerXIII (bobo)
-Identity Crisis collects 6 gil from ctu (bobo)
-Tritoch collects 6 gil from Zergrinch (bobo; Zerg got 1 gil for taking RacinReaveronia and 5 gil at the beginning of the day)
-Zergrinch collects 10 gil tribute from Tritoch and Identity Crisis
-RockgamerXIII collects 20 gil tribute from Plarom, Tritoch, Identity Crisis and ctu
-Yeldarb collects 10 gil tribute from Tritoch and Identity Crisis

Actions:

-ctu/Tritoch for ?^_______^?: Tritoch defends
-ctu/Tritoch for BlueMikey's LoP: ctu conquers
-ctu/Tritoch for Grawltasia: Tritoch defends

-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for Zergrinchtopia: Yeldarb defends
-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for nikiri: Yeldarb defends
-Zergrinch takes RacinReaveronia with Tanks

Tritoch's fought on with so much valor that he deserves a breather.

1: CTU HQ
2: BlueMikey
3: Lord Styphon, if Plarom fails to conquer. Otherwise CTU/BlueMikey
4: Any of CTU's countries I haven't conquered, for the k.o. attempt

Hmm, now for a different approach.

Bay of MoO
Omicron Bay
Elixirian Ocean
Darkcometalia

and I buy and use tanks on US of IC.

That's enough for now.

This looks bad for me so right now I will buy and use a nuke on

SR of Bradylama and the 4 adjoining states I pick are

1: US of IC
2: ?^_______^?
3: Infernal Monkey's LoJT
4:Sprouticus Conf.

You need to send in your numbers so I know if you're alive or dead.

I was hopping I could use my nuke first so I would live through that attack

I'll post then in a sec

Nope, doesn't work like that. Darth Zergrinch has struck you down, I'm afraid. The good news for everyone else is that Zerg has no turns left today.

-Plarom/ctu for D of Lord Styphon: ctu defends
-Zergrinch/ctu for CTU HQ: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/ctu for BlueMikey's LoP: ctu defends
-Zergrinch/ctu for D of Lord Styphon: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/ctu for BlueMikey's LoP: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch gets spoils of war 35 gil and no items
-Yeldarb uses Tanks to invade US of IC

Fuck I guess I will have to get revenge in the next game then :(

http://images4.wikia.com/uncyclopedi...8/Dr._Claw.jpg
I'll get you next time, Gadget!

Results:

-Yeldarb/Plarom for Bay of Mo0: Plarom defends
-Yeldarb/Plarom for OO Bay: Yeldarb conquers
-Yeldarb/Plarom for Elixirian Ocean: Yeldarb conquers
-Yeldarb/Plarom for Darkcometalia: Yeldarb conquers

Once again I buy and use tanks on Bay of MoO.

And thus Yeldarb the Destroyer has slain Plarom, making himself the richest player in the game, both with gil and land.

-Yeldarb uses Tanks to destroy the underwater base in the Bay of Mo0
-Yeldarb gets spoils of war 69 gil and no items

Since Zerg was gracious enough to grant me a break today, I shall do the same for him and concentrate my forces on Yeldarb.

- Knkwzrdlandia
- Nikiri
- New Yeldarbstan
- United States of Identity Crisis

Last update for the night:

-Tritoch/Yeldarb for knkwzrdlandia: Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for nikiri: Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for New Yeldarbstan: Tritoch conquers
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for US of IC: Tritoch conquers
-Yeldarb gives 2 gil to Zergrinch

I'd better get in my attacks before the next day starts! I'll be attacking knkwzrdlandia, Alicetopia, Zergrinchtopia, and nikiri in hopes of crippling the mighty Yeldarbian empire. My capital would be a higher priority, but Tritoch currently has it (I'm not sure how to feel about that, so I'll convey my emotions with this :sonyPS2: smiley).

Also trying to take down Mr. Yeldarb:

Summonmaster's PoD
Darkcometalia
Freelance Wolftopia
Xardocratic Empire

Yeldarb remains at the top of the list with a lucky streak, but the rest of the challengers are nipping at his heels.

Tritoch attempted to use Fjordor on Yeldarb this morning, but it failed because Yeldarb is using Satellite Defenses today.

Money:

-RockgamerXIII and Yeldarb each collect 10 tribute total from Tritoch and Identity Crisis
-Zergrinch only collects 8 tribute from Tritoch and Identity Crisis, because IC only had 3 gil left. Zerg had the fewest number of countries in his Warlord block, so I used that as the tiebreaker.

-Identity Crisis/Yeldarb for knkwzrdlandia: Yeldarb defends
-Identity Crisis/Yeldarb for Alicetopia: Yeldarb defends
-Identity Crisis/Yeldarb for Zergrinchtopia: Yeldarb defends
-Identity Crisis/Yeldarb for nikiri: Yeldarb defends
-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for Summonmaster's PoD: RockgamerXIII conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for Darkcometalia: Yeldarb defends
-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for Freelance Wolftopia: RockgamerXIII conquers
-RockgamerXIII/Yeldarb for Xardocratic Empire: Yeldarb defends

My troops are still tired of Tritoch's face, so they're taking out a_country, Isle of Blah, Isle of Miles, and Megalith.

I'll attack Sea of Sass and Capoland.

Then with the remaining attacks left I attack IC's lands that Zergrinch did not conquer.

And to stack on the contingency goodness, I use a Tank on any of IC's lands that opportunistic bastitch Yeldarb fails to conquer!

Additional Spam:
I just counted up the countries on your map updated 10:20 pm. I have 10 countries in my bloc. Yeldarb has 14, and Rock also has 10.

I agree that the size will determine the priority, but shouldn't Rock and I split the difference? Granted it's only 1 little gil, but every little bit helps :p

Oh well, at least it told us right away not to bother with any items against Yeldarb. I'm not sure how much I approve of these contingencies that are just "Whatever's left unconquered by Yeldarb!" That's not a contingency plan so much as a cheap way of making sure someone is dead without bothering to coordinate much.

I'm launching attacks against:
- Musharrafdom
- Elixerean Ocean
- October Omicron Bay
- Isthmus of Tritopia

Rockgamer took Summonmaster's PoD since the map was updated, giving him 11.

See, here's the problem I have. If I put my foot down and draw the line somewhere in the rules, then I have to listen to Zergrinch go on and on in chat and this thread about how my written rules never specifically forbade something, even if a reasonable player would consider it cheap or underhanded. If I agree with Zergrinch and allow something that's borderline but not prohibited, then I have to hear Tritoch complain about it (and he's harder for me to avoid). It's a game, people, and there's a middle ground somewhere.

In the past I've allowed contingencies because if we were all sitting in chat or something real time, they wouldn't be necessary. Since we're constrained by people submitting numbers at different times, it seems only fair to allow contingencies when an important move is being made, especially since some players only log in once a day. As I warned earlier in this game, if players start to abuse them, I'd take away contingencies. I suppose next game I run, I'll have to eliminate them, since Zergrinch has seen fit to use them constantly this game. I see the value of doing what he's doing, and I don't think it's necessarily cheap, but if everyone did it, there's no way I could keep track of things in this game. Formula of Universal Law ftw.

Results:

-Tritoch/Yeldarb for Musharrafdom: Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for Elixirian Ocean: Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for OO Bay Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Zergrinch for Isthmus of Tritopia: Zergrinch defends

The real problem seems more that you can't take Zerg's nagging, since that's the only thing preventing you from making a clear ruling. Is it really that hard to just define the rules for contingencies rather than taking them away completely because one player continually abuses them? Something like:

- Only to be used if the player will be unable to check GFF for a day or a player is coordinating an important attack.
- No Zergrinch, not every attack is important.
- Targets must be defined and not "whatever he has left after ____ finishes his attacks."

And yet you're nagging me about Zergrinch's nagging. Yin and yang.

I will most likely define contingencies, and limit them to once or twice a game (the player can determine the importance, since they'll be limited). I'm not going to bother with how often the player checks GFF, and I don't have a problem with "whatever he has left after ____ finishes his attacks", as long as you don't do it every day.

You don't expect me to get on you about admittedly giving into Zerg just to stop his nagging? Of course I'm going to, because otherwise the rules would shift into his favor.

Actually, on second thought, it is more fun when allies accidentally attack each other whilst trying to eliminate other players.

Identity Crisis has been eliminated. Perhaps I should have ended this a day sooner...

Results:

-Zergrinch/Identity Crisis for a_country: Zergrinch conquers
-Zergrinch/Identity Crisis for Isle of Blah: Zergrinch conquers

-Yeldarb/Identity Crisis for Sea of Sassafrass: Yeldarb conquers
-Yeldarb/Identity Crisis for Megalith's ITEAP: Yeldarb conquers
-Yeldarb gets spoils of war 1 gil and 1 item (Energy Boost)

Ok, with my energy boost I'll attack Dopefishland, YeOldeButchure Bay and Bradylama Land.

While I admit I have been using contingencies with frequency this game, I assure you that it isn't per day, and I only reserve the contingencies for pivotal occasions like trying to knock out other players before they get a chance to post their attacks. Identity Crisis has proven remarkably resilient in the past game, despite 3 of my attempts to knock him out.

Actually, I went back and reviewed your posts, and you have used some sort of contingency every day (2 on 7/20 and 7/22; none on 7/21). If that doesn't fit the definition of overuse, I don't know what does. I'm not saying what you did was wrong, because I allowed it, but it won't happen again in future games.

Anyway, Zergrinch and Yeldarb have traded Crash Landon's Keep and Bigturnip Ocean.

Oh my. I only remembered the huge ass contingency on Day 3:

[3 1/4] Shin
[3 2/4] Gechmir
[3 3-4/4] Shin/Gechmir (if I didn't win) Uzuki/Tails/Turnip (if Rockgamer doesn't win) Blah (if none applied)

Ah well, I stand corrected. I tended to use contingencies in this game :p

I see what you did there, Yeldarb. I see your wager, and raise you:

Darkcometalia
Megalith's ITEAP
knkwzrdlandia
nikiri

It would seem that Yeldarb has kicked you guys in the nuts and pushed you off a cliff (or some other mixed metaphor). He used Ninja Spies yesterday and had Satellite Defenses up, so he was virtually unstoppable. Now that Yeldarb controls all 6 bodies of water, he gets 6 attacks today.

With the loss of Dopefish, RockgamerXIII is no longer a Warlord. Yeldarb collects 10 gil tribute, and Zergrinch collects 9 gil (they have an equal amount of Warlord countries, but Yeldarb has more territory overall for the tiebreaker).

With the way the game is going, I don't see Yeldarb losing first place (since I doubt Zerg-sensei will attack him). Do you want to continue battling it out for second place, or end the game now?

Why nutty, are you inciting them to attack moi? :p

I vote we end the game now!

But if in case we don't, I hereby attack the following:

Dr. Uzukistan
Colonel Skills
Summonmaster
Rockgamerstein

Let's see what I can muster here.

OK, then I'll use my Legion on Rock.

Now for my attacks:

Freelance Wolftopia
Dullenplainsylvania
Sprouticiusland
Dominovia
Infernal Monkeyland
and
Soldieria

Haha, I knew Yeldarb was using Ninja Spies yesterday! Between his constant winning and his sudden drop in gil it had to be true. Anyway, time to attack!

I'm launching my assault against:
- Isthmus of Tritopia
- RacinReaveronia
- Megalith's Is This Even A Peninsula
- Plaromvia

Results:

-Tritoch/Zergrinch for Isthmus of Tritopia: Tritoch conquers
-Tritoch/Zergrinch for RacinReaveronia: Tritoch conquers
-Tritoch/Yeldarb for Megalith's ITEAP: Yeldarb defends
-Tritoch/Zergrinch for Plaromvia: draw, resubmit numbers

I forgot to post this earlier, but Satan takes pity on RockgamerXIII and grants him an extra turn today.

Hail Satan!

-Tritoch/Zergrinch for Plaromvia: Zergrinch defends

Oh, fine. Screw you too, Satan.

Why all the hate?

C of the Dopefish
Darkcometalia
SR of Bradylama
Megalith's ITEAP
AR of Capo

I hereby use tanks on Mucknuggle

Definitely a crazy night. Yeldarb and RockgamerXIII are no longer Warlords, and for the moment, neither is Zergrinch. RockgamerXIII inexplicably forgot to send in 2 defense numbers against Zergrinch. He's still got an hour to do so, otherwise, Zergrinch will win and retain his Warlord status. Oh, and Yeldarb used his Ninja Spies again.

Does Yeldarb get 2 extra turns today? Phooey, didn't read carefully enough.

Also, I am attacking:

1. Quarky
2. Ryuu
3. Luxitopia
4. Zergrinch

Additional Spam:
Also, I hereby buy and use a set of Chemical Weapons on Mr. Tritoch.

Now that Zergrinch has used Chemical Weapons on Tritoch, Tritoch is left with only one turn today. Oh, and Zerg's a Warlord, and he collects 10 gil from Tritoch and Yeldarb.

Results:

-Zergrinch/RockgamerXIII for Dr. Uzukistan: Zergrinch conquers (no number)
-Zergrinch/RockgamerXIII for Colonel Skills' HoV: Zergrinch conquers (no number)

Eh, if Rock conquered Crash Landon's keep, I should be getting 5 gil from him, right? :p

You are correct, sir.

OK, just to humor the others I'll post my attacks.

Nikiri
knkland
Luxitopia
Merv Burger Land

Using Energy Boost and attacking:

Dr. Uzukistan
Colonel Skills' HoV
Isle of Blah
Isle of Miles
a_country

With only a single attack left in this game, I'm taking Megalith's Is This Even A Peninsula.

Tanks on Rockgamerstein. I shall end the game by raping Rock's capital!

Additional Spam:
Mmkay, the chart isn't up to date, and neither is the map. So I'm going to buy a set of tanks, and use two tanks on whatever property on RockgamerXIII that isn't under attack by me or Yeldarb.

It was up to date when I went to bed last night. I can't help it if people wait until the last minute to send attacks/numbers. FYI, Zergrinch used Spies yesterday.

Here's how everything shakes out:
1st Place: Yeldarb
2nd Place: Zergrinch
3rd Place: Tritoch
4th Place: RockgamerXIII

Final results (ROWSDOWER!!!):

Woo hoo. Both objectives have been matched :'D

Anyway, for some reason the July 24 version of your chart was showing up when I was looking at it. If it were the last version you updated before you slept, it would ahve been a simple matter of tracing stuff.

Congratulations, Mr. Yeldarb, and good game nutty!

Yeah, I was telling Tritoch on AIM last night how both the map and the chart weren't updated. I had to go back through all the actions just to figure out what countries Zerg had.

But yeah, otherwise, this was a good game. I think I did pretty good for being out the last three games, so I'm not disappointed with 4th place. I don't know how eager I would be to play another game anytime soon, though.

I got kind of burned out on this game myself, and besides, Dullenplain said he was going to run the next one. I think I shall turn my attention to GFF MegaScrabble, and see if I can make that work.

I meant to stop in and offer my congratulations to Yeldarb earlier, so I suppose I'll do that now. He was overdue for a win after all these games, and with the lack of easy Shock & Awes this time he earned it well.

At least this game didn't end with everyone thinking they still had a day to use up their arsenals!
